Tucked into a serene wooded hillside on the Columbia River in beautiful South West Washington, along the mighty Columbia River halfway between Longview and the Pacific Ocean lies Vista Park. Vista Park is a 75 acre year-round paradise that has been a part of the local community since 1981. We have partial and full RV hook-ups, with forest and river views. We also have dedicated tent sites, and hillside Yurts. Shipwatching, fushing, tennis, basketball, kayaking, boating, and hiking all await you!
From town: Go .25 mi W on SR-4 to Vista Park Rd, then 100 yards W.
A nice place and nice staff, but we likely won't be back. Rates are very high and with wa taxes, they are unreasonable. Add that to wa gas costs, we will go elsewhere.
Vista park is right on the Columbia River in historic Skamokawa. Beautiful beach and the ships going by almost seem like they will touch the shore. The people that work there are so nice. Great places to ride bicycles as you can ride over to the game park on your bikes. The only negative is the goat head stickers in the grass. You can't walk barefooted in the grass and they stick to the bottom of your shoes so you have to scrape them off before you get in your RV. Wish they could spray for those. The beach is beautiful but beware when the ships go by it sucks the current out and it can be dangerous if your in the water. I think they should have a sign on the beach warning people of that.
My wife's and I favorite camping spot and the employees that work there are amazing as well. Good camp host as well. Always checking if we need anything or just to chit chat. Also pet friendly even for our "lap dog" pit bull. Having the Columbia River right there is a plus as well.
Well, to be honest, not a good look at first sight, [due to pokey grass, wind & bees] but I'd say it's a decent camp. Loved the beach/water & trails; the water was perfect for swimming & the trails were just pure nature goodness. I say it's a fine camp.
Beautiful RV park right on the Columbia River. Can watch the massive ships cruise down the river. Take in some amazing sunsets. Camp host very pleasant and helpful, same for front office staff. Campsite was roomy and clean. Plan to book another trip soon!
